What does Trump do after that? White supremacist rallies? TV station for the alt-reich? Attacks on whoever is in charge? Move to Turkey with his $$$ & buddy Erdogran? Pigs blood bullets company? Confederate statues theme park?

So of all those who are really running the executive branch, I would think that Sessions, he's the one most dangerous to liberal concerns? (immigration, civil rights, law enforcement, terrorism....) He's got his agenda I am sure and synchs totally with Pence. Pence would keep him!

I think that's true. He doesn't care about most of what they're doing so doesn't take the time to get even a summery of it to make a cursory decision. When he does care, like leaving the Iran deal, sometimes they can talk him out of it. Other times his tweets and outlandish behavior make it...

Your comment just hit me like this: they have much more than an effect! "They" are running the place. He's not even paying attention to what they are doing all day, he's spending all his time doing supposed P.R. He bounces from photo ops with visitors to twitter and TV to planning rallies to...

interesting point! I ran across articles today blathering stuff about possible evidence of trying to keep quiet "Pence 2020" prep activity, but I didn't read them.So I went back to google for something like that and the first thing I got is...

No one has control over Trump but there's evidence they have an effect. For example the Iran deal is still in place. Reports claim the effort to convince Trump to maintain the Iran deal was long and hard. Trump wanted out and Bolton would have encouraged him. Does it matter? Is this just a...

This video tweet gives me sad memories from 9/11, with an attack this bad, the days directly after are the worst, because they are not sure what will happen next, security won't let you return to normal life (as would be the appropriate response to an attempt to terrorize) until they figure out...

Pence may not be able to unhitch his wagon to this star.
The investigation into the Trump campaign may uncover complicity in nefarious acts.
Pence continues to defend Trump without qualification. If he becomes POTUS, he won't be able to claim he was kidnapped by thugs in a van....

The American people and Electoral College elected an insane man. There are no happy fairy tale endings. All potions suck big time. Trump decompensated on camera. He cannot control himself. General Kelly is a competent man and he cannot get Trump to simply make a statement about infrastructure....

Not saying it's going to happen, but. Thinking after reading the whole discussion, it strikes me that the ideal scenario for the majority of the country who voted for Hillary would be: moderates do not resign but stay in place, Trump is forced to resign for increasing craziness together with...

In the summer of 2016, as WikiLeaks was publishing documents from Democratic operatives allegedly obtained by Kremlin-directed hackers, Julian Assange turned down a large cache of documents related to the Russian government WikiLeaks in its early years published a broad scope of information, including emails belonging to Sarah Palin and Scientologists, phone records of Peruvian politicians, and inside information from surveillance companies. But by 2016, WikiLeaks had switched course, focusing almost exclusively on Clinton and her campaign.

WASHINGTON — Kara Young, a biracial model who dated Donald J. Trump for two years before he married another model named Melania Knauss, remembers clearly bringing up her race with the real estate tycoon early in their relationship. As with so many issues, he steered the conversation to celebrity.

Trump tweeted about his sadness over the loss of "beautiful" Confederate statues. He again equated a man who fought to create the United States with a man who knowingly fought o destroy the United States. Robert E. Lee could have led the Union Army. His sister's son fought for the Union. 40% of Virginia fought for the Union. Robert E. Lee chose to be a terrorist.

Trump champions the "Lost Cause". It is not surprising that he is unaware of why many of these Confederate statues were erected. Take the Robert E. Lee statue in Baltimore as an example. The statue was erected in 1948. The statue was meant to intimidate black soldiers and sailors returning home from World War II. It served as a reminder to those black men and women that white people were still in control

“Our country’s greatest strengths are the diversity of its people and the principles of equal dignity and inclusion that unite us all. There are troubling events planned in our state in the coming weeks. This is an incredibly painful and difficult time for millions of Californians. For those who are wondering where we stand – the ACLU of California fully supports the freedom of speech and expression, as well as the freedom to peacefully assemble. We review each request for help on a case-by-case basis, but take the clear position that the First Amendment does not protect people who incite or engage in violence. If white supremacists march into our towns armed to the teeth and with the intent to harm people, they are not engaging in activity protected by the United States Constitution.

There were no decent people marching alongside the white supremacists and Nazis. Decent people cannot work in the Trump White House. If you support Trump, you support a racist. You are an enabler. If you work for Trump, you work for a Nazi sympathizer, you are an enabler. Jewish people who work for Trump are working for a man who encourages anti-Semites. Blacks who work for Trump work for a racist who is attacking the black community. Hispanics who work for Trump work for a bigot who called Mexicans racists.

There are no decent political people hired by Trump working in the White House. (General staff like maintenance, kitchen staff, etc are excluded)

WASHINGTON — The renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement is off to a rocky start.

The Trump administration lectured Canada and Mexico on the failures of the current agreement at an opening news conference Wednesday morning, while behind closed doors negotiators began to seek significant concessions from America’s neighbors.

“We feel that Nafta has fundamentally failed many, many Americans and needs major improvement,” said Robert Lighthizer, the United States trade representative, who is leading the United States team aiming to overhaul the 25-year-old agreement [....]

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao stood shoulder-to-shoulder Tuesday with President Donald Trump, the same man who railed against her husband, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, last week and demanded that the lawmaker "get back to work" on health care."I stand by my man -- both of them," Chao said, when asked by reporters what she thought of her boss's criticism of her husband.

A Los Angeles-based tech company is resisting a federal demand for more than 1.3 million IP addresses to identify visitors to a website set up to coordinate protests on Inauguration Day — a request whose breadth the company says violates the Constitution.
